    x moles of potassium dichromate oxidises 1 mole of ferrous oxalate, in acidic medium. Here x is

    A) \[{{3170}^{o}}C\]                            

    B)        \[\underset{chloropropane}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}Cl}}\,\xrightarrow[-KCl;-{{H}_{2}}O]{Alc.\,KOH}\underset{\Pr opene}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CH=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,\]                   

    C) \[\xrightarrow{B{{F}_{3}}/THF}{{(C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}})}_{3}}B\]                          

    D)        \[\xrightarrow{C{{H}_{3}}COOH}\underset{propane}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The reaction of oxidation of ferrous oxalate by potassium dichromate in acidic medium is written as \[\Delta {{G}^{o}}=3\Delta G_{f}^{o}(C{{O}_{2}})-2\Delta G_{f}^{o}(A{{l}_{2}}O{{ & }^{3}})\]                                    \[=3(-394)-2(-1520)\] \[=1858kJ\]  2 moles of \[\Delta {{G}^{o}}=-nFE_{cell}^{o}\] are oxidised by = 1 mole of \[-E_{cell}^{o}=\frac{1858\times 1000}{12\times 96500}=1.60V\] \[\gamma -H\]  1 mole of FeC204 will be oxidised by \[\alpha \] mole of \[FeS{{O}_{4}},\]
